In director Frank Oz's tense, well-acted crime drama, ready-to-retire safecracker Nick (Robert De Niro), flamboyant fence Max (Marlon Brando) and aspiring, talented -- and volatile -- thief Jackie (Ed Norton) team up to rob the Montreal Customs House. The score could put them all on easy street, but Nick is growing uncomfortable with the operation: He hates to work with others, and things with Jackie don't seem quite right.
